I note, with much delight, that Jason Sanford at storySouth expects to have the 2008 Million Writers Award gearing up in the next week. This is, for those of you who don’t know, a fabulous opportunity to find all of the great short fiction happening in the on-line world; though started in a bit of a pique (the big players–the O. Henry Awards and Year’s Best …–still tend to ignore the on-line space, even though so many university and independent journals have moved there with the increased cost of print publication), it has become a celebration of short fiction in its million and more shapes.
